THE Best Alien-Attack Movie Of All-Time! All the new flicks like "Skyline", "Battle L.A." and $#!+ are nothing against Roland Emmerich's work. And it's from 1996 - imagine that... Anyway I'm really excited about Part 2 comming 2013. Happy Independence Day everybody ;)

Certainly not a winner for dialogue and acting but with entertainment in the special effects department there's fun to be had. Is there an Area 51? A sobering thought. Brent Spiner makes this film! On the other hand the general who keeps saying 'My God!' is so so annoying

**Disaster or alien movie (possibly even action movie) - it just doesn't get better than Independence Day! This 1996 sci-fi action blockbuster is one of the greatest of all time!**

When you watch the mega-blockbusters of the 1990s and compare them to each other, it is easy to forget how groundbre More

Very good movie. Funny as well with plenty of action. As they try to save the world from an alien invasion.

If you like your sci-fi full of gung-ho machismo then this one ought to cut the mustard. On the face of it, it is quite an engaging story of mankind uniting in the face of overwhelming odds - a sort of blitz spirit. There to save us all from the pending oblivion is Bill Pullman as the President, Jef More
